We must, however, refer our Readers to the Pamphlet, which brings forward Documents apparently of indisputable authority, and by which, according to the old phrase, " the tables are turned," and Mr. GURNEY appears to be the persecuted character. We submit the fol lowing extract to our Headers, as apparently de- cisive on the matter The Confession of Mr. Henry Tocker, which I have more than once alluded to, and which was written, signed, and delivered into my bands by that individual himself, in the presence of the relation and friend who had so earnestly arid successfully interceded for him, has alrtratly been given to the world through the same Journal in which the Libel was ori ginally inserted. I re-copy it here, nut merely as a corrobo rating proof of perverted principle, but also fur the purpose of contrasting it with a Note or Remark made by the Editor of The /rest Briton, in reference to that document, as fol lows: " Confes.viuti of Mr. HENRY " Note of the Editor of The ca.

(Signed) HENRY Toctcsa. London, Nov. 16, 1817: " The Defence of Miss Tocker,which was read, not spoken, by her in Court, as the Journals infer, was the joint compo sition of the Conspirators, and went into a vast deal of irre levant matter. Physic, law, ethics, religion, politics, and the sciences, danced in all the mazes of metaphorical con fusion' through this extravagant tirade. Had the Lady un derstood Cldnese or Cherokee, nay, all the languages pro •mulgated at Babel, she would, no doubt, have introduced them into that false and audacious document, in order to overwhelm her Auditors by a torrent of imposing declama tion."

COVENT-GARDEN•—The Opera of Rob Roy, one of the latest productions of last season at this Theatre, was represented lsst night, with some changes in the performance. Mrs. FAUCIT Was Helen illaegregor, instead of Mrs. EGRuToN, very useful Actress, who is not in the Company this season. Mrs. FAUCIT supported the charac ter with spirited effect. PY NE was the substitute tor Francis Os/midis/one, instead of Si set, sIR ; and Diana Vernon was assigned to Miss MATHEwS. These changes ►were favourably received by the audience. The Interlude of Personation introduced Mrs. C. KENIBLE again to the Public, to whom, we are persuaded, her re-engagement must be very gratifying, as she is an admirable Actress of the true School. her performance last night dis played such genuine humour, as well as versati lity, that she received very warm applause throughout, and her entrance was marked by vehement and reiterated testimonies of cordial welcome by a very numerous audience. THEATRIC T I'M ULT. DUBLIN, SEPT. B.—On Saturday night Mr. TionsoN was announced to perform Harman, in Lionel and Clarissa ; but when the House opened, bills in the passages stated, that Mr. HoDsoa had suddenly withdrawn himself front the Theatre, and that a Mr. BROAD would perform the part. — This was received by the audience as a matter of fact, and the Opera proceeded without interrup tion. However, yesterday, the following appear ed in a Morning Paper : " From the kindness and support which Mr. Hodson has received from the liberality of the citizens of Dublin, since Ire appeared before them, he feels himself called upon to ex• plain the cause of his not appearing on Saturday, in the cha racter of HUr?/1 'ln, for which he was advertised, and to con tradict the notice which was posted in the Theatre that even ing, stating, ' That he had suddenly withdrawn himself frosts the Theatre.' He begs to a:sitre the Public that it was not his voluntary act, but in consequence of the notice he took of a pointed insult which Mrs, Hodson received from qtr. Fre derick Junes, jilt,. who desired him, in the most insolent mari ner, to quit the Theatre. After such inigentlernanly conduct, he considered an apology from Mr. Jones necessary, before he entered into any re-engagement under his management, or before hr could have the honour of again appearing hefore the Public. " G. A. HODSON, 5, Danre•street." Last night, after postponement and disai,point ment, the Opera of The flaunted Tower was per formed—Adela by Mis, Stephens, in which cha racter she was advertised for several days to sing " Haste, Idle Time," a song composed by Mr. Hodson. 'This song she omitted, substituting another in its place. When the finale commenced, a call for " Haste, Idle Time" became general, and the curtain tell amidst hisses, and demands for " The Manager—Song —llliss Stephens— Hodson% Song—Apology to Mrs. Hodson," &c. The clamour continued, and Mr. Horn presented himself before the cut tail), but he would not be listened to, and he retired. The call for " Ma nager Song —Apology" was renewed, and again Mr. Horn appeared, leading on Miss Ste phens, who was greeted on her entrance with a burst of applause. Mr. Horn then said, that Miss Stephens was so indisposed in the morning that she was unable to rehearse the song. Having said so; much, he instantly hurtled Miss Stephens off the stage. This,.seemed to increase the storm, and the call for " Manager—Sorg—Who is the Manager ?" became louder than ever. Mr. Wal lace then appeared, but having persisted in his endeavours to obtain a hearing ranch beyond the point of prudence and propriety, be was pelted off ! The storm continued, and Mr. Wallace once more presented himself, accompanied by Miss Stephens. Again she was generally applauded— a proof to the Manager, whoever he is, that his conduct alone was tinder consideration. Mr. Wallace said, that Miss Stephens would sing any song:except " Haste, Idle Time," but that she was unable to sing. Here there was a cry of " No, no ! enough as to Miss Stephens ; no song hut Hodson's; your apology will do as to Miss Stephens, but send the Manager—Off, off !"—A few Gentlemen in the stage-box, on the right of the house, encouraged Miss Stephens to sing. She came forward fur the purpose, but the audi ence would not hear her, and she was obliged to retire, evidently much affected. A person in the Gallery now addressed the audience, and in the course of a very animated speech, be said— " Miss Stephens is perfect in the song ; I chal lenge the Manager to contradict the in this state ment. 1 also say, the cause of her not singing it is the interdiction of Mr. Jones, merely because it is of Mr. Hmkon's composition." The tumult, and call for " Manager !" now be came louder than ever, and the thunder rolled till the curtain drew tiF for the farce of The Review, when no Manager appearing, the actors were or dered off; and, as they declined to retire, missiles of all descriptions were thrown frotn all parts of the house, and the stage was soon covered with them. The actors continued, very imprudently, to come on in dumb show, and, at last, mote un fortunately (and we mention it with deep regret), Miss Kelly was bit with some hard substance in the face, when she fell on her knees, and was carried off the stage senseless. This outrage can not be too severely reprobated. When Miss Kelly was carried off, the curtain WAS let down, and did not Ike again. Previous to this, those who had occupied the pit retreated to the boxes, in conse quence of several missiles falling short of the stage. A considerable portion of the audience re mained to a late hour, and when we left the house, the tumult continued. It is stated in The Dublin Morning Post, that Mr. Hodson, when nismksed from the Theatre, had taken the music of '` Haste, Idle Time" with him, and of course it could not be sung by Miss Stephens ; therefore, as the Editor of that Print very properly pus it, if the apology offered by Mr. Horn was not tit- trVe cause of the song being omitted_ but was really owing to Mr. Hod son having taken the music away, was not Miss Stephens made, either by Mr. Horn, or some person behind the curtain, a party to a rank false hood ? This morning the following has appeared in the Daily Papers Having seen in this day's Saunders's News Letter a statement from 3dr. Hudson, late ut this Theatre, asserting that the cause of his nut performing on Saturday last was not owing to any voluntary act of his,' but solely attributable to a violent insult offered to hint by me ; I feel it a duty to the Public, to myself, and to the Establishment (in the conduct ing of which I sometimes assist), to declare that the follow ing statement of the transaction is a true (we bad in the course of Thursday eveniog, wlthmit any previous cause, given me notice that be would break his engagement tor. g.ong to Cole uu , !L.., . 1 " "- violating his written pledge to do so, unless he Was Tr errynced for the a,on at Crow-street, which I was incapable of acceding to. In a subsequ,nt conver satimi that evening, concerning Mrs. Hodson's refusing to perform a part vvhich she bad played but a few tights before, and for which her name had already been t to the bills, Mr. Hodson presumed to assert, in tits most insolent tone of voice and manner, that 1 had uttered a ful.whoorl ! and was pinceeding in this strain, when I inter rupted him (not Mrs. Hodson, as is erroneously inserted in the advertisement), to desist from the use of such language, or instantly quit the Theatre. This was the only cow se tat me to guard my.s.c.ll• ogninst hit This expression never intended to imply that I wished him not to perform again ; ,in the contrary, on his telling me afterwards that he conceived my words were intended to convey such a mean ing. I not only denied it, hilt on the following morning de sired the Pronipter to write to him, and state. that I would expect him to perform the character for which he had been announced for several days. With Mrs. H. , dson I had no conversation hut of the most civil and friendly nature. These are the facts of the case, and from this statement I submit to the public, to whom Mr. Hodson has made the first appeal, that if any parson concerned in the liansaction has any right to complain, it is the individual who subscribes his name to this reply, and that if any apology was necessary in this case, it was due to him, and not to Mr. Hodson. " FREDERICK JONES, Jun." 1 - low far this is to be considered as an answer to the cliatge of his having offered a pointed in sult to Mrs. lio.lson, tile public will judge; or how fat - it is to he considered as an exploration of the onli•sion of the song last flight, without any previous apology, it will be no difficult miner to (fete , mine. The Freeman's Journal states, that Miss lidiy was struck on the face by a bottle. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT.—We hear, th a t among the secessions from our Dramatic Corp,, th e ensuing season, are Mr. Foot, Mr. Butler, Mr. Pearman, Mr. and Mrs. West. Mrs Hill and Miss Poole. 'We understand our Managers have been on the alert in selecting talent of the first order to supply the vacancies thus occasioned ; amongst those alteady engaged are, Mr. G.

Loder, and others, whose names have not yet transpired —(Both herald ) Miss KELLY, we are happy to hear, is tiro nounced out of danger ; the disorder exhibited the most alarming symptoms for some days. Mr. DAvin Fl,tiekt is engaged at Drury-lane, and Mr. C. FtsitFß will shortly make his first ap. pearance at the same Theaire, as a Singer. PHILLIPS, the Singer, has reaped a golden vest in America, and intends leaving the United States, for " the tight little Island" in November next The Shrewsbury Theatre, the interior of which has been entirely new decorated, and new scenery painted for it during the summer, is to be opened for the race week, with the attractions of INI - t; BARTLEY'S performances of six of her favourite characters.

Accounts from Batavia, dated the 4th April, state, that Major Aleyer, who was wounded at Saparana. died of his wounds at Amboyna, on the 16th of January lost. The Commissioners-. General have resolved to adopt some provisional measures for the regular raising of the land-tax, and the establishment of its sale upon a perma nent tooting. A public school is about to be established at Saniarang, for the instruction of youths for the army and navy, some of whom will be selected from the sons of deceased indigent of ficers of the above professions, and others will be admitted at their own expence. On the at rival of General de liocK at Amboyna, he was installed Governor of the Molucca Islands. The Commis sioner-General has for Java.

Fl UNA AT COPENHAGEN.—We learn from Co penlzagen thAt there were two alarming tires in that city on the 26th and '27th of August. In the first sugar refinery was reduced to ashes ; the second broke out in a founder}, on which occa sion, by the falling of a wall, several persons were killed, and many wounded. The King Litnself was present at the fire to encourage the people to exert themselves in extinguishing the flames. THE WELL OF SoPERSTITION.-At the last Mold Assizes, a man was indicted for extorting 14s. 6d. front another, under pretence of resetting hint from the well. It appears that a very profit able species of " incantation" has long been practised by the wizards and witches in the neigh bourhood of Llancilion well. It is customary, even at the present (lay, for people at enmity, to write the names of those they wish to de nounce on a piece of slate or paper, which they throw into the mysterious well ; and it is implicitly believed, that so lo.lg as the name remains therein, the person is at the mercy of the evil genii, and consigned to ultimate perdi tion,—to escape from this worse than papal male• (fiction, sums of money are given to have the name removed, and thus restore the party to peace ! This indictment, it is hoped, will have the effect of finally destroying this ridiculous and supersti tious custont.—About twelve years ago, al poor tailor in Flintshire, was charged with stealing a goose from an old woman ; she was asked how she came to suspect the offender ; when she observed, that having threatened to throw his name into " the well," he confessed Ole crime."
